lovemykids....
Your school district is very similiar to ours. the 3rd grade is when our magnet program starts. There is a gifted program for second grade but nothing before. We are finally (in first grade) starting to see differential homework AND class work. Our district will not grade skip and they frown upon subject acceleration... although we will push for it again for math. reading is at level so that isn't an issue for us. Frannie is reading 5th grade level books... just an issue finding content appropriate.

The one positive we have is Frannie will have the same teacher next year for second grade (she is in a multi-age classroom first/second). Her teacher has been great in providing us with gifted advice. She is not her math teacher tho and thats where we have had trouble. She will be her math teacher for second grade.
